Sex Gets Real 124: Dylan is back this week!

What can I even say about an episode that not only has Dylan, as the celesbian guest this week, but Dylan singing Rihanna? Yep. It was amazing having Dylan back on the show, beer in hand, for a fun, frank discussion and answering listener questions. She has been working so hard that we’ve had virtually […]

Sex Gets Real 123: Emily Nagoski talking pleasure, joy, & science

We all have those people that we admire to the point of fandom, and for me, one of those people is Emily Nagoski. Her work has had a deep impact on my personal life and my professional life. She single-handedly changed the way I work with clients who have low desire or libido they aren’t […]

Sex Gets Real 122: Conner Habib talking consent & feminism

Conner Habib generously agreed to jump on the phone with me at the last minute for this week’s episode, and our conversation is incredibly political and philosophical in ways you don’t often hear on the show. This is my second time interviewing Conner and both times we’ve chatted, I’ve felt challenged and inspired to think […]

Sex Gets Real 121: Princess Kali on erotic humiliation and kink

There is something so delicious in talking about something that I have so little experience with. This week’s chat with Princess Kali is just that – a fun, playful talk about erotic humiliation, objectification, mastering kink, and being a Dominatrix. It’s rich, it’s approachable, and it’s terribly intriguing. Throughout the episode, Princess Kali drops truthbomb […]

Sex Gets Real 119: Andre Shakti on wrestling, fisting, and sex work

This week’s chat is one of my favorites. Andre Shakti is an absolute delight. The first time I saw her in person at Sex Down South last year, I was in complete awe. She is this vibrant, powerful force to be reckoned with, and when she said she’d come on the show I was completely […]

Sex Gets Real 118: Kaila Prins on pole dancing and burlesque

Body positivity is something I constantly bring up on the show – not only because it’s an important part of my own story, but because I’m constantly getting questions from listeners about their own body shame and struggles. That’s why I am so excited by this unapologetic and energizing look into pole dancing and burlesque […]

Sex Gets Real 110: Girl boner, bleaching your ass, & circumcision

A few months ago, August McLaughlin invited me on her show, Girl Boner, to talk about body acceptance and trauma. I’d been following her for over a year and admired her own story in working with women’s sexuality and empowerment. This week, August shares a little about her battle with anorexia and body dysmorphia, plus […]
